SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please don´t use the appliance unless you have studied and understood the instruction manual. Your dryer is intended solely for household use. If the dryer is used for professional, for-profit purpose or purpose exceeding normal use in a household, or if the dryer is used by a person who is not a consumer, the warranty period shall be equal to the shortest warranty period required by relevant legislation.
The appliance is manufactured in compliance with all effective safety standards. Nevertheless, we recommend it is not used by persons with impaired physical or mental abilities and motor skills, or persons with deficient experience or knowledge, without due supervision. The same recommendation applies to the use of appliance by minors. Never stop the drying cycle before it is completed; if you do interrupt the cycle for any reason, be careful when removing the laundry from the drum as it is very hot.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION SELECTING THE ROOM 10 cm 5 cm 10 cm Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear side should always be kept free. Do not install the appliance in a room where there is danger of frost. The room in which the appliance is installed should be adequately ventilated, with temperature between 10°C and 25°C. When the dryer is operated at a lower ambient temperature, condensate can accumulate in the appliance interior.
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE 4X Positioning the appliance on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feets or side by side. Dryer can be stand freely on the floor or on a washing machine of the same dimensions – minimum width 517 mm, minimum depth 476 mm. The surface on which the dryer is placed should be clean and level. Use the vacuum feet attached; they are designed to prevent the dryer from sliding.
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door or door with a hinge opposite the dryer. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely opened. Never block the cool air opening (see dryer description). Drying machine on top should be placed by at least two persons. Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation. The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.
INSTALLATION Level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet which allow levelling by +/- 1 cm. Use key nr. 22 and spirit level. Floor on which the machine is placed must have a concrete base. They must be clean and dry; otherwise, the machine may slide. Also clean the adjustable feet. The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank. During the drying process, a control light will warm you of a full condensate tank which has to be emptied. Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be avoided by running the condensate discharge tube found at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 2h The dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to stabilize. Use the power cord to connect the dryer to the power mains through a power outlet. The dryer may not be connected to the power mains through an extension cable (danger of overheating and fire). Nominal voltage and other information is given on the rating plate located under the door frame.
MOVING AND TRANSPORT If the dryer cannot be transported in the upright position, tilt it to the left side. If the appliance was not transported in compliance with the instructions, the dryer should be left to stand still at least two hours before it is reconnected to the power mains. Failure to do so may result in a heat pump failure which shall not be covered by the warranty. Be careful not to damage the cooling system.
EMPTYING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK (ONLY FOR MODEL WITH STEAM GENERATOR) Before transporting a dryer that has been previously used, the steam generator tank must also be emptied. Otherwise, water from the tank may spill into the dryer interior. Move the dryer approximately 40 cm away from the wall and tilt it backwards. 1 The steam generator tank emptying plug is located on the front side (lower right hand side).
IONIZER SYSTEM (CERTAIN MODELS ONLY) Ionizer adds negative ions into the dryer drum, which has a positive effect on the laundry. The fibre will be flexible and your clothes will be tender and easy to iron. The process takes place during the drying programs.
